I cannot imagine how horrible and unusable the transit system in NYC will be if there is no cost at all to use them

Congestion pricing + free subway/bus = absolutely obliteration of all normal middle class people in NYC

Better idea: Approach iconic NYC companies/thosewho have a big presence (and ideally large profit margin) and have them fund free MTA cards for people making under ~50k for a marginal tax break

Goldman Sachs
Tiffany’s
LVMH
Estée Lauder
NBC
Bloomberg
Pfizer
AmEx

History, tech stuff, SEO/marketing, shitposting, etc. etc.

Wait I’m dumb you just mean pay for the fare. Thought you meant like the collectibles. My bad

Yeah 

And MTA did run a sponsored card program that was super popular 

Got confused 😵‍💫

That’s hilarious, nobody touched it after this?

Havent lived in NYC since 2021 did not realize this
